New release. A book by Chulpan Khamatova & Katerina Gordeeva

Chulpan Khamatova & Katerina Gordeeva

Gift of Life is sharing chapter 9 from Vremya Kolot Lyod (Time to Crush Ice), a new book by Chulpan Khamatova & Katerina Gordeeva.

Two close friends, actress Chulpan Khamatova and journalist Katerina Gordeeva, in conversation about work, art, theatre, television of the nineties, friendship and charity. In this chapter, they recall how the Podari Zhizn foundation was established and their personal routes to what has become their calling – supporting the charity and children in its care. They metaphorically see it as crushing everlasting ice in Russia.

The acute lymphoblastic leukaemia just wouldn’t go away. Elvira (Elya to her friends) went through treatment three times, had two relapses, and finally received a bone marrow transplant. Elya’s donor was her father Raul. This interview with a deeply beloved father and his hundred-percent-compatible daughter turned into a talk with the two people closest to each other. Please welcome the latest heroes of the Blood Family project, Elya and Raul Abdulov.

On the 26th of November, let’s get together over a cup of tea to celebrate Podari Zhizn’s birthday and donate to help pay for cancer treatments for children in Gift of Life’s care. Choose your own treats - from cupcakes, bagels and profiteroles to pasties and pirozhkis. And it doesn’t even have to be tea – coffee or any drink of your choice will work just as well. Enjoy your tea and make it count!
